A day in the life
You’ll balance your time between operating production systems and making long-term improvements to the reliability, availability, and performance of those software systems. An example week could look like: Monday you provide meaningful feedback on the most critical upcoming change whilst guiding the most senior technical talent in your organization to make more decisions without you. Tuesday you identified a major reliability risk in the interplay between systems in your care and designed a cohesive solution. On Wednesday you lead the design review with the relevant technical leaders, receiving consensus on a path forward. Thursday, you influenced your senior management to take goals and make investments to achieve that outcome. Friday, you begun developing part of that system which would have the most impact on the reliability of the overall system.
